Tempting cookery days
in the upper Eden Valley


Cookery days in Ravenstonedale
Our home in the peaceful village of Ravenstonedale (a pub, village shop, gallery and a golf course!) is the setting for a cooking experience that you will treasure. The aroma of freshly ground Italian coffee and the crackling of the wood-burning stove will welcome you to our comfortable kitchen. You will relax and unwind - and discover the secrets of great food. Traditional English ingredients and familiar recipes will be rediscovered; exotic world cuisine will tempt you as Yelly shares her passion for wonderful food.
How about a short break?
High Chapel House will be yours to enjoy for as long as you choose to stay. A mid-week or weekend day course with cookery demonstrations, where Yelly shares the secrets of her favourite recipes, is an experience in itself. Or why not make a long weekend of it and stay in one of our beautiful en-suite guest rooms?
The Upper Eden Valley - a food-lover's and walker's paradise
The Upper Eden Valley is a hidden gem. Although close to the Yorkshire Dales and within striking distance of the dramatic Lakeland Fells, you will probably not want to travel far. Ravenstonedale is in an area of outstanding natural beauty: a true walker’s paradise. To the south the dramatic skyline of the Howgill Fells reflects the changing seasons - winter snows, spring waterfalls, and the long days of summer each have a magic of their own. To the east of Wild Boar Fell, which dominates the southern skyline, the river Eden rises in the limestone moorlands above the Mallerstang Valley before tumbling over Hell Gill Force and flowing lazily northwards to the fertile Eden Valley where farmers’ markets and specialist food shops are just waiting to be explored. Trout fishing and golf are also available close by.
